16、as last issued.BS 7870-8.5:2003 BSI 16 June 2003 1 1 Scope This section of BS 7870 specifies requirements for the construction, dimensions and mechanical and physical properties of multicore cables with thermosetting insulation and non-halogenated sheaths, having reduced fire propagation performance

17、, and low emission of smoke when affected by fire. It specifies requirements for: a) steel wire armoured multicore cables (2-core to 48-core) having copper conductors; b) unarmoured multicore cables (2-core to 48-core) having copper conductors. It specifies requirements for both Type 1 and Type 2 ca

18、bles, which are defined as follows: Type 1: cable designed for the installation and operating conditions prevailing in a conventional fossil-fuelled power station or equivalent location; Type 2: cable designed for the installation and operating conditions prevailing in a PWR power station, but exclu

19、ding location in or around the containment area. The requirements specified in this section of BS 7870 are applicable to both Type 1 and Type 2 cables unless otherwise indicated. This section of BS 7870 is applicable to cables for use in and around power stations and other installations having simil

20、ar cable densities. NOTE A “guide to use” is given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

30、 expressed in the form U 0 /U (U m ). The voltage designation of cables in this standard is 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. 4 Conductors Conductors shall be 1.5 mm 2 , 2.5 mm 2or 4 mm 2 , of circular stranded copper (class 2), conforming to the requirements of BS 6360. Conformity shall be checked by visual examinat

31、ion as specified in 15.2. NOTE A separator tape may be applied over the conductor. 5 Insulation The insulation for Type 1 cables shall be a single extruded layer of XLPE or HEPR. The insulation for Type 2 cables shall be either a single extruded layer of thermosetting TI Z material, or two bonded la

32、yers of extruded thermosetting material, as a composite layer, conforming to the requirements for TI Z specified in Table 11. The insulation shall be applied so that it fits closely on the conductor and it shall be possible to remove it without damage to the insulation itself or to the conductor. Th

33、e insulation shall be applied by a suitable extrusion process, cross-linked where required, and shall form a compact and homogenous body. Conformity shall be checked by the test methods specified in 15.3. 6 Identification of cores The cores shall be black or white with printed numbers in a contrasti

47、 Marking BS 7870-8.5:2003 on or in relation to a product represents a manufacturers declaration of conformity, i.e. a claim by or on behalf of the manufacturer that the product meets the requirements of the standard. The accuracy of the claim is solely the claimants responsibility. Such a declaratio

48、n is not to be confused with third-party certification of conformity Element Example of marking a) Electric cable ELECTRIC CABLE b) Voltage designation 600/1 000 V AUX c) British Standard number 1)and cable type BS 7870-8.5 Type 1 or BS 7870-8.5 Type 2 d) Manufacturers identification XYZ 2) See Tabl
